Welcome to SchoolGenius.com where
genius is nourished not just born!

 

As a teacher I soon learned to ignore what I had been told about students entering my classroom and give them a chance to prove themselves a positive influence. A new year, for a student can be a time to start fresh and change past poor behavior. But this may not occur if teachers or parents assume that students can not change.

 

I still recall a young lady who came into my Grade 5 class. I was told by a former teacher that she had a very low reading level and probably would not accomplish much. I decided to ignore those comments and assumed that the student was a normal average student. The amazing thing is that with that expectation, she cast off her former poor performance and became a very good student. I saw this many times over.

Don't ask me to tell you the psychological principle, but in common terms,
"YOU OFTEN GET WHAT YOU EXPECT!"

 

The words we utter to children or adults can cause them to grow and flourish and try for impossible things or to wither and want  to die to escape the misery our words have caused. -Cpedley

Our philosophy is that genius is often inspired rather than just being an ability that some are born with. I should say that some geniuses never make much of themselves.

Some people who seem NOT TO be very bright HAVE been inspired to reach higher and have become amazing successes!

Schoolgenius offers advice, freeware, & wonderful software bargains that you may not be aware of.

We have also been collecting movies which inspire us to reach up rather than look down.

 

Inspiration! - It is hard to explain the things or people that make an impact on our lives!

Movies have an amazing influence on us. They can inspire us to greatness or make us afraid to try and cause us to give up.

It is a pity that in entertaining us, Hollywood does not usually get the idea that they could mold our world into a better place by giving us real and admirable heroes to look up to and models to follow. People that we admire and want to be like.

But then every once in a while a gem comes along. Since EDUCATION  can really begin with inspiration, we are making a list of movies that push people up toward greatness. We only have a few but there are many more.

In fact if you would like to help, then please email us with your inspirational movie or book or whatever media you feel inspires greatness.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful programs. 51 years young *LOL* I enjoy them as much as my 5 year old son Danny. Best of luck. Kind Regards

 

George, Scotland
Just wanted to drop by and say a big thank you, i had to fight with my eight year old to get her off my PC. First time she has sat at the PC for for any length of time and the added bonus that she was learning without thinking about it. Thanks

 

Anne-Marie, Canada
Thank you for all the great downloads; I have four kids ages 5 to 15 and my two boys have learning disabilities similar to ADHD in some ways, associated with their Early Onset bipolar disorder...thank you so very much!

 

Elaine, England
Not only do we love the website and programs, but we have recommended it to loads of people. It's has saved many a parent's sanity during the school holiday. I also think it's great to raise awareness of ADHD. My friend's son was vaguely diagnosed and the site has helped her immensely. Keep up the excellent work. PS would thoroughly recommend Dinohunt for adults and children alike!

I've been a happy Olltwit user for years - I downloaded several of your programs back in '04, for my older son to use. Now it's time for my younger son to use them, and I've come back to your site to find 1) I owe you, and 2) you have more great stuff. I'm happy to pay up because I know the quality of your software.

 

Paal, Norway

I have a 4 yr old Autistic daughter and I have downloaded some of your programs for her to play. They are fantastic. She has hyper activity which is caused from sensor problems from the Autism. these are the only programs that keep her focused. Thank You so much for creating and sharing them.

A FEW INSPIRING MOVIES - For more see our blog!

 

We Are Marshall

 I just got finished watching the movie, "We Are Marshall". An amazing story of a 1970 plane crash that killed ALL of Marshall University's Football team, coaches and many friends. Instead of cancelling football, which would have been reasonable with only a few players left who could not be on the plane that fateful day, they got permission to use freshmen who triumphed in their second game. The new coach, Jack Lengyel, apparently a hall-of-famer motivated them by telling them they could NOT be defeated even if the other team had more points on the board. They would still be winners for playing older and superior teams and keeping football alive at Marshall. I am not much of a sports fan, and certainly NOT a football fan, but I am always a fan of the human spirit in triumph!

 

It reminded me of what I used to tell my primary students at Lloyd Rice School on Quaker Road, Welland.

I told them that winners were those who tried hard and helped others.

Yes it is nice to actually have more points or a higher score but what really counts is, "Did you give it your best?" and "Did you try to help others be their best?"  

If you did and if you do, my friend, YOU ARE A WINNER!!!                                                     -
